Ilya was so knowledgeable, a great guide. He was very friendly and helpful. We went to two wineries, both very different. We got to taste so many wines and were taught so much about terroir appellation and methods of production. Ilya took us to Chinon for lunch. Unfortunately all the shops are closed at lunch. It would have been great to browse in them as well as eating a very nice lunch. I would recommend this tour for anyone who doesn't want to see more Chateaux! We have seen plenty and other tours were more expensive as they included a chateau or two.

Our tour with Iliya was awesome! He clearly enjoys his job. He was very knowledgeable about the winemaking process, the history of the area and is a charming person. Iliya helped us with lunch reservations at a rustic local restaurant. Bonus points for being an animal lover. Highly recommend!

We had the best day out with Eilliya our tour guide. We tasted some really lovely wines at Domaine de Noire and was able to talk with the wine maker Jean Max once he realised that we had some knowledge of the wine process coming from a wine making region, the Swan Valley in Western Australia. We learned a lot about Appellation and Terrior. We were able to explore Chinon a beautiful little town along the banks of the Loire River. We then went to Chateau de Miniere which is an all female domain. We enjoyed both red and whites and a sparkling Cab Franc which we enjoyed the local dessert wine jelly apple tart. Ther were only the 2 of us but I would highly recommend this company and this experience. We had a great day out. Thank you Eilliya.
